We are staying in Waikoloa and has always had a great experience at TB at Mauna Lani in the past. Today, service was great, atmosphere was great. My entree was a Broccoli Quiche from the fall menu. I was shocked how small it was and the crust had fallen off onto the plate. Presentation wise, it shouldn't have been served. Not a good impression, little paid to detail. Not what I'm used to when dining at TB. The beets in the salad were very firm. Can barely cut it with a knife. Had a crunch to it. Like eating raw beets. Not an enjoyable dish. My husband's burger from the fall menu was superb. The purple potato pierogi was excellent. I love the Pina Colada Cake and ordered it to go the other day.. I noticed a difference with the cake. Maybe they make it differently in Hawaii than at Corona Del Mar, CA location? The cake looked like yellow cake instead of white. No garnish on the whipped cream. It's the little details that this TB missed with food coming out of the kitchen. But overall, this is still the best place to eat in the area. read more

Still the best happy hour around. The quality and quantity of food is outstanding. Save room for dessert, we tried the malted chocolate pie and will absolutely be ordering again in the future. I'd also recommend the sliders and Mahi tacos, both on happy hour. Great service and beautiful seating, highly recommend stopping in. Reservations are available on Open Table. read more

Creamy, herby, garlicky sauce, topped with bacon and toasted bread crumbs in a hot iron skillet....a ton of toasted sourdough bread for scrumptious dipping!! We love Tommy's and are never disappointed... read more

Nice restaurant. Had both indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor had AC and happy hour. Outdoor seating does not allow you to order from happy hour menu. Food was very good. Appetizers were small servings while the entrees were appropriately sized, but costed significantly more. Service was amazing. Our server was attentive, polite and provided feedback/ recommendations on menu items. The biggest takeaway was the pricing. Food was good and some items were moderately priced high, while other items were much higher. Good was definitely fresh though read more

We're locals here from Hilo side of town. We were looking for a place nearby to eat that we haven't tried yet! & I'm so IMPRESSED!! The food was amazing, so much flavor and everything was so worth the buck! The service is top shelf and they check on you every so often. Our waitress was so kind and patient having to explaining the full menu to us. We were so happy we chose this place! 10/10. read more

Excellent food! We were saving this place for a special occasion and went here for a birthday celebration. We called ahead to make reservation and got promptly seated. We started off with Coconut shrimp and fried asparagus. This set our expectations pretty high. The mango chutney with the coconut shrimp was absolutely . We ordered the Mac and cheese and chicken tenders for the kids. I shamelessly stole one of the chicken fingers and man was it delicious We ordered the sinabarre chicken and zaatar crusted yellowfin ahi. Both perfectly seasoned and delicate in taste. The ambience with live music in background truly made it a very enjoyable meal. The service was prompt and courteous. I am glad we chose this as our special dinner place. We would definitely visit again when we are in Big Island. Mahalo! read more

This is a good place for a quick lunch. The food was good, but the price point is a bit high - service was a little lackluster, but the waiter was very kind! The location is well decorated, but does not stand out from other places on the island. read more

Tommy Bahama - All All-American Burger* - New American Near Me - Kamuela, Hawaii

I'm not gonna lie. I really didn't have high expectations for this chain restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was staying at the Fairmont Orchid hotel and they had a free shuttle to the restaurant. Not wanting to eat dinner at the resort, this was a nice alternative. The first night we went there, at 5:10 pm, there was going to be a 30-minute wait to eat at the bar, so we went somewhere else. Lesson learned. We made a reservation for the next night and we were seated promptly at a very nice table. The restaurant was nicely appointed and both attractive and casual. Our waitress was fantastic and the overall service was excellent. I selected the Macadamia crusted fresh fish, with flavored rice. Instead of the included vegetable, I opted for a Caesar Salad and dressing ($46). All were excellent. The fish was succulent and tasty. My wife enjoyed her Parmesan-crusted Sanibel Chicken stuffed with cheese, which came with, Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes, and Grilled Organic Broccoli ($37). I ate the remainder of the chicken and thought it was quite tasty. We split a "small" slice of Key Lime Pie. It was good, but didn't have the tanginess that you find in the Florida variety. The dinner was expensive by Minnesota standards, but in line with prices on various menus I've seen in Hawaii (near resorts). read more

The food here is pretty good and the service friendly. Happy hour prices are the best deal and reason to come but be aware that you have to specifically note you are there for happy hour as there are specific sections of the restaurant you have to sit. We had a really bad experience with birds in the restaurant. We frequent the Hawaiian islands and are accustomed to birds hovering for food at various spots, but these were extremely aggressive, landing on my child on two occasions and directly on our table a couple of times. We spent our entire meal literally defending our kids and food from the birds with our napkins and silverware. It was a sight to be seen. If that environment is overly bothersome to you, would opt to go somewhere else. read more

The location was near the beach we wanted to go to so we decided to stop here. I had the cheeseburger. It was very good. The flavor of the patty along with the garlic aioli was perfect. The service was great. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Tommy Bahama - Cheeseburger. - New American Near Me - Kamuela, Hawaii

This was a place that we chose at the last minute. It was a good thing we did because this restaurant blew us away. It is an upstairs location but it does have an elevator for those who may need it. There is seating indoors and outdoors. It is an attractive restaurant with an island feel to it. The noise level is somewhat loud. We were promptly seated and the waiter offered us dinner bread that he said comes only by request. The bread and cinnamon butter was excellent. We had the shrimp and corn dumpling with an amazing sauce that really made the dish. Both my wife and I got the Kampachi special. I'm not necessarily a seafood lover but this really hit the spot. Finally, we finished off with the Pineapple Crème Brûlée that came served in a fresh pineapple. Very well done! read more

Tommy Bahama is such a staple when you're visiting Waikaloa. Their bar is the perfect place for pau hana and enjoying a drink with loved ones. We always share a bunch of dishes here, but this time we got the char-grilled filet mignon salad, Thai shrimp and scallops, and pineapple crème brulee. Service is always great. They're fast and constantly checking in on us. And it's not just our server checking in on us! The manager stopped by to see how we enjoyed our food. Of course, we're always here and the food never misses. The char-grilled filet mignon salad makes you feel like you're not really eating a salad but instead a crunchy, sweet, and savory delight. The filet mignon was so tender and flavorful. I can't express to you how much I love the almond rice. But top that with Thai flavors and curry--ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The chef really outdid themself with this one. Scallops and shrimp were cooked just right. Not rubbery at all. The pineapple crème brulee was just so satisfying! Eating fresh pineapple with the creamy richness of the crème was so refreshing. Definitely coming back! read more

We ate at Tommy Bahamas for the 2nd time last night.  We had a 7:00PM reservation and were seated on time. We enjoyed a glass of Maschio Prosecco sparkling wine which I thought was just dry and just sweet enough.  It might just be my favorite new 'champagne'!  We tried a glass of Cline Seven Ranchlands Merlo which tasted a bit sour and we returned it.  That glass was replaced with a Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon that had a much more pleasing taste to our palettes.  I also had a non-alcoholic muddler that had just the right amount of tang and sweetness, complete with blueberries! We were offered complimentary bread that comes with  a honey-cinnamon butter.  The bread had absolutely no flavor, but with the honey-cinnamon butter, it was pretty good! For appetizers we enjoyed the signature coconut crunchy shrimp.  We were served 6 great-tasting large shrimp served around a small mound of coleslaw that had great flavor!  My wife had the Lump Blue Crab Bisque.  The flavor was really good, although the size of the serving was more cup-sized than bowl-sized.  And unfortunately, it was heavily over-salted. For entrees I had the Lump Blue Crab Cakes that came with 6 asparagus spears and a larger serving of coleslaw that this time contained wonton strips.  The crab cakes were over-salted, but the coleslaw was amazing, and probably the best I've had.  The asparagus spears were well-seasoned and cooked perfectly.  My wife had the Guava Baby Back Pork Ribs.  These came with the same slaw that I got, and a scoop of some amazing mashed potatoes.  The ribs were good, but they didn't have much meat on them.  The slaw was, well, the third time we had slaw that meal, which we thought was a bit repetitive. For dessert we had the cheesecake which was great! The service was pretty good, but it was evident that the waitress was over-tasked, so some things took longer than we'd like (the replacement wine glass held up my wife eating ribs. Overall, a good experience! read more

On a 6 day vacation we went to Tommy Bahama Restaurant 3 times because the food and service are Great! Beth, Kekao and Patty were our servers. I had the Mac Nut Mahi Mahi 2x and a filet salad. My friend had coconut shrimp 2x and crab cakes. We both raved about the food we chose. We stayed at the Mauna Lani Resort but after only 1 meal there, decided that TB was a superior restaurant and to have our meals there. Also a shout out to Dan, restaurant manager, gave us wonderful service. It was my Birthday week so we enjoyed a complimentary dessert "pina colada cake". Lovely second floor restaurant. read more

STILL A GREAT SPOT TEN YEARS LATER ================================ My sister and I stopped in for an hour because we had some time to kill and I am so glad we did. We had just previously stopped at the Auberge Mauna Lani and that place is a rip off. We sat at the bar and ordered some drinks and appetizers. We should have just stayed there for lunch because the food is so much better than the Lava Lava Beach Club. It's too bad these two restaurants just don't merge because Lava Lava has it's ocean front setting and Tommy Bahama has substantially better food. We ordered the hummus and whipped feta which was amazing. We were happy campers with that. We ordered a couple cocktails to go with that and I am going to have to try to remember what which is tricky two months later, but I'll figure it out what we ordered. Definitely go there. The food and drinks are great along with the great service. read more

Lively venue for dinner. Views of the parking lot from the open air seating on the second floor. Live music. The bread is hot and served with cinnamon butter. The crab cakes are wonderful, however they are dwarfed by the massive amount of slaw. Unfortunately the remoulade is covered by the immense amount of slaw and there's not enough for the crab cakes. The remoulade is basically a zingy tartar sauce loaded with chopped onions. The crab cakes need a different sauce. Ask for extra sauce on the side if you like tartar sauce. Which I will do when our server finally decided to return. We've not seen her since she replaced the loaf of bread on the floor. We flagged her down and it took another 10 mins before we saw her again. The Thai sauce previously served with the crab cakes was soooo much bett The tortilla soup is wonderful. Would definitely get again. The Baha Margarita tastes like any other Margarita - which is great because I love margaritas. Could not get a piña colada because their blender is broken. The Macadamia crusted fish was completely overcooked, but the almond fried rice was good and the asparagus was nice. The braised short ribs was OK, the polenta was nice. You can eat the Beach Tree at the Four Seasons, have a better meal, a gorgeous view of the sunset for the same price. read more

Went to front desk to inquire about an earlier reservation. Was rudely informed that unless we wanted to sit out in the wind and rain, there was nothing they could do. "They lost half their restaurant due to weather." Well, they lost us too. We went to Island Hopper next door and were warmly greeted and have enjoyed our experience thus far. read more

We always make our way here for a great dinner with sunset views. The service is great and attentive. The legendary coconut shrimp is not to be missed.

Beautiful restaurant with a relaxed fine dining atmosphere. The menu offers options for most palates and needs. Food was excellent. Two personal service dislikes experienced: 1. Started with prosecco and was not asked if I would like another beverage when table was cleared of appetizer. I had to ask for wine menu again after sitting without a drink other than water. My entree wine selection was delivered after I was halfway finished with my filet. I may have had a second glass of wine if served a glass while waiting on entree (especially given the beautiful environment and live music). 2. Coffee was ordered when dessert order was taken. It was delivered after the pineapple creme brulee arrived- after prompting a manager that happened to stop by and ask how our dessert tasted ("oh, she is probably brewing it now"). Again, would have been nice to enjoy coffee while awaiting the creme brulee. I would definitely return given all else, but left a bit frustrated given my initial impression and price paid. read more

Okay, real talk: I've been to a few Tommy Bahama restaurants over the years, but this one on the Big Island? It just hits different. Maybe it's the warm island breeze, maybe it's the fact that I was finally off the plane and out of mainland chaos, or maybe it's that sweet nostalgic magic of my first-ever Tommy Bahama experience being right here... but wow, it was something special. Let's talk food: I wasn't just hungry from travel--this was genuinely delicious. The Chilean seabass? Divine. Like, close-your-eyes-and-savor-every-bite kind of divine. And yes, I went for it--I splurged on the crème brûlée served in a pineapple (because why not, I'm in Hawai'i!). No regrets. It was creamy, crackly, tropical perfection. Great service, relaxed but polished vibes, and a view that says "you made it, friend." This spot will definitely be a repeat visit every time I'm on the Big Island. Don't skip it. Treat yourself. And get the pineapple brûlée--you're welcome. read more

Such an amazing experience! Attempted to make a reservation in advance, but found out upon checking in that we had made it for their Maui location... the hostess totally understood and put us on the waitlist immediately, ensuring we had a table not too long after! We started with drinks at the bar while we waited - great live music and such a relaxing atmosphere with the sunset and open-air! We had mojitos and the frozen mai tai - both of which we recommend! Once we got to our table, we ordered the Mahi Mahi special (the best I've had before!), coconut shrimp, and the creole shrimp and crab pasta (which was okay, could have been more crab in it). The portions were good size, and a couple members of the group mentioned how much they loved the lighter breading the coconut shrimp. For dessert, we had the key lime pie and coffee cheesecake - both of which disappeared quickly at our table! The key lime pie crust and tartness was amazing, I already want to go back. Such a great experience - from the service, drinks, food, and atmosphere! It made our first night in Hawaii unforgettable, and I am already trying to schedule a time to come back. read more

If you're a person of color, I DO NOT recommend you eat here. Instead of our waitress letting us know that our card was declined (because it wasnt active), she took it to the manager who lied and said their machine needed to be reset when in reality they were calling the bank to see if my husband's card was really his. On top of that, its my birthday! Embarrassing thing to go through. Highly do not recommend. read more

We always enjoy stopping by a Tommy Bahama restaurant when traveling if there's one around. We've done Maui and Manhattan. This is a neat spot because it's on the second floor and it's an open restaurant. You get fresh air and feel like you're dining outside. We typically go for happy hour. None of the main entrees have ever called out to us. That doesn't mean they're not good, but we just have happened to always want small bites when we eat here. Sitting in the bar area but not the bar top can be a little tricky. Your server is often one of the bartenders and they're busy making drinks, so it's sometimes difficult to flag someone down. All in all, their happy hour is a decent value and the restaurant itself is nice. read more
